So I was digging through all my old stick parts and found an old Akishop PS360 (not the + version) – plugged it into my PC with no buttons attached and the PCB seems to work, except the triangle button shows as always pushed.
Did some searching and found I can fix this by soldering a resistor between the VCC screw terminal and the triangle button screw terminal.
Could someone better explain why this works/if there is a better solution/what size resistor I should get?
Thanks! =)
Thank you! That was very helpful.
I’m still a bit unclear on resistor strength though. I’ve seen 10k, 4.7k, and 1k ohm all thrown around. Any ideas on which is best, or should I just grab them all?
That I’m not too sure about. It would help if you could use a multimeter to find out how much that signal is off by then compensate with the closest range resistor.
Probably…
Mmmm don’t have one on hand. I guess I’ll start with the highest resistance and just work my way back…should be safer that way.
Can you detail this more please? i have a pair of ps360+ fucking dead LOL . i tried with random resistors but problems appeared on other buttons : (
What if there are multiple inputs in the same situation? All activated all the time. A single resistor for each input and all going to the VCC, or multiple resistors all going to the VCC point?
multiple resistors, if not you could get all the inputs to do the same jjj
Well I tried a variety of different resistors and none of them seemed to have any effect. No matter what the X button is always activated. Guess I’m out of options for this one…
Soldered the resistor to the bottom of the VCC and X button terminals underneath the PCB, and tried plugging the ends into the screw terminals as well. No dice.
Tried 800, 4.7k, and 10k. =[
